Start with one salmon fillet. Remove skin and cut into cubes. 

Cure the salmon in a mixture of – 1.5 cups of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of salt, and two spoonfuls of Mikes Hot Honey. Place in fridge over night. 

The next day rinse off the cure and out on a metal rack. Place the rack in a fridge or a room that is under 65 degrees. I put the rack in my Mudroom with a fan on it. You will want to do this till the texture is tacky. Took an hour for me, but could take up to two hours. 

Place on 190 degree smoker till the internal temp of the salmon is 130. At this point glaze the bites in a mixture of honey and Underwood Ranches Sriracha. Put back on smoker till the glaze sets. Pull out of smoker and enjoy! So crazy easy and good. 

Remove outside casing and cut small lines around the bologna slices. This will keep your slices from curing up. Brush on some bbq sauce and your favorite rub. Smoke at 250° for 45 mins. Flip and add bbq sauce and rub to the other side. smoke for another 45 mins. Enjoy as is or fry in a pan with butter. For the above photo I used Hinks bbq sauce and a Meat Church rub.

Salt and pepper the ribs, and give them a good sear using olive oil in a hot pan. Then, toss them in a crockpot with beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and rosemary. Heat on low for 8 hours.

Melt a stick of butter.

Add two splashes of 2% milk.

Use a whisk and whip it up till it starts to thicken. Should be a nice spreadable butter.

Rubbed with salt, cover in plastic wrap, and tossed in the fridge over night.

Applied Hardcore Carnivore Black and Salt Lick rub.

Smoked at 230F till the internal temperature hit 165F.

Wrapped in double layer of pink butcher paper and put back on the smoker till it hit about 205F.

Ingredients

Chili:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Meat:

• 2 pounds lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/2 tablespoon hatch chili powder
• 1 tablespoon SPG
• Salt Lick and Carnivore Black rub

Instructions

1. In a large Dutch oven on the stovetop, heat over medium heat until hot. Add onions and peppers and cook until soft. 
2. Add in all the tomatoes, the beans, water, and the chili seasoning mix and stir to combine.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the meat ingredients, holding off on the rub, form into a large loaf, sprinkle all sides with the salt lick and black carnivore rubs and place the whole thing on a rack above the chili. 
4. Place onto your preheated pellet grill at 275 degrees. Cook for 45-60 minutes stirring the chili periodically. 
5. Turn the grill up to 350 and continue cooking until the meat is 150 degrees. 
6. Chop up the meat and toss into the chili mix.
7. Stir and serve hot.

Smoke for 1.5 hours at 250. For the above photo I used a Jamaican spice rub. Then place in pan with an inch of low sodium chicken stock, cover, and crank the temp to 300 for 2 hours. You should be able to pull the chicken just by squeezing it.

Sam’s Club pork loin. $16.16 – cut into 8 pork chops and 2 roasts. 4 meals = $4.04 per meal. Also used the side of the blade to measure the perfect chop size. With meat prices going up a little bit of work helps to reduce meal cost.
